Joshua AsohPlatform Engineer · The Hartford
I build the pipelines and tools engineers ship with.
I'm a platform engineer at The Hartford, building ATLAS: the CLI, desktop agent, VS Code extension, and self-service onboarding that 4,000+ engineers use to ship. Before that: a GenAI documentation chatbot on AWS Bedrock, digital manufacturing, and lab software.

Current role · The Hartford
Building ATLAS, the developer platform for 4,000+ engineers
ATLAS puts onboarding, builds, policy, telemetry, and AI tooling in one place: a CLI, a desktop agent, and IDE extensions. I'm one of the engineers building it, on the platform team led by Anthony Brignano (opens in a new tab), and I help deliver the CEO-sponsored push to make new-engineer onboarding self-service.
- 4,000+engineers on the platform
- 95,000+pipelines supported
- 13,000+repositories tracked
- 1,000+engineers adopted the tools in 90 days
My part
- CLI and desktop agentCLI features, and the agent's bridge that lets a button on the platform site run a command on an engineer's own machine.
- VS Code extensionExtension features, and the day-one walkthrough that installs it and tours the editor.
- Self-service onboardingIn-browser walkthroughs, Atlas Studio's narrated videos, Harness provisioning, and onboarding people through it, for the CEO-sponsored initiative.
- Telemetry and qualityThe OpenTelemetry pipeline behind the usage dashboards, cross-platform tests with an 80%+ coverage gate, and release checks.

The CEO-sponsored push to make onboarding self-service
A CEO-sponsored initiative to cut the time from an engineer's hire date to their first commit. I built parts of the day-one path, turned its guides into narrated videos, and onboarded people through it.
- 40+ days hire to first commit, before (team baseline)
- Hours a machine, unboxed to building, on the platform path (team figure)

How I work, stage by stage
My work at The Hartford, stage by stage
Harness project provisioning and onboarding workflows, written to be idempotent so a re-run leaves a team's setup intact.

Have a platform problem worth solving?
I'm open to new opportunities and glad to talk shop about CI/CD, developer experience, and internal tooling. I usually reply within a business day.
